How to Make Black Forest Cheesecake Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix, ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, and 1 large egg. Mix until well combined.
- Stir in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and ½ cup toasted slivered almonds.
- The mixture will resemble cookie dough. Press evenly into a greased 12x8 inch baking dish.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but not browned.
- While the crust bakes, prepare the cheesecake filling: In a separate bowl, beat together 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened, ½ cup powdered sugar, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the warm crust, leaving a small border.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the cheesecake filling is set and no longer jiggles.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Spread your favorite Black Forest pie filling (about 1 cup) evenly over the cooled cheesecake layer.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting into bars.
